I Wish for Peace

I wish that I could say

The world was one and fighting was a fable

And the greed would turn the tables

I wish for peace, I wish for peaceI wish that I could see

A world that can be free with no more crying

Oh, but some of us are trying

I wish for peace, I wish for peaceWho will hold the children dear if there's a painful tear?

Who will chase the clouds away?Why pretend that there's no God?

Why pretend that there's no love to wrap around you?

I speak justice to confound you

I pray for peace, I pray for peace

I pray for peace
